I have read Alcott obsessively. My favorites are Little Women, Eight Cousins, Rose in Bloom and An Old-Fashioned Girl. I thought Laurie was all wrong for Jo, but the Jo-Laurie shippers are legion.
I didn't create the troll. I didn't date the troll. In fact I hate the troll. I helped deflate the troll-- All done.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Because books.
I thought Laurie was all wrong for Jo
Yes!
I love when Amy sits on Laurie's lap and says his nose is a comfort to her.
And I thought Professor Bhaer was charming in that awkward, scholarly, foreign way. I think once Jo loved him, I loved him.

Little Women is my least favorite of those.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
This means I have an excuse to buy a Pebble, right?
Yes. Yes it does.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Remember BigDog, the creepy-in-an-uncanny-valley-way four legged walking robot the US military is developing? Well, now they've given BigDog an arm and taught it to throw cinder blocks:
DARPA's robotic BigDog can now throw shit like it's nobody's business
I think this belongs in Good Stuff That May Presage the Robot Apocalypse Happened Today.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
ita, do you drink the For Your Water or the For Your Cooking
Cooking, totally. I don't miss the sweet in the least. I can get that from my food (noms muffin more).

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Cool! I kind of love (and yet am unnerved) by how animalistic its legs look while it's trying to keep balance. Seemed very like a horse there.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
I quoted the scene where he proposes to her in the rowboat on the lake as one of my favorite romantic scenes ever
Oh my god YES. (Behind Spencer Tracy's line in Desk Set, "I bet you write wonderful letters." ::swoon::) Best proposal EVER.
